The IMF's Warning on US Debt
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) cautioned about America's recent economic performance being affected by unsustainable fiscal practices, posing risks for the global economy.
US Economic Performance Impact
The exceptional recent performance of the United States is a major driver of global growth, but it reflects a fiscal stance out of line with long-term sustainability.
- This raises short-term risks to the disinflation process.
- Longer-term fiscal and financial stability risks for the global economy are at stake.
Something will have to give as the US economy is projected to grow, urging a cautious approach to easing by the Federal Reserve to address rising debt concerns.
